WORSE THAN SMALLPOX.
A Great Danger which, Menaces nm Unsu,

picious Public,
The Brompton Hospital for Consumptives,
IN London, reports that over fifty people
out every hundred consumptives, are victims
Of constpatel or inactive kidneys
Consumption Is one Of our national dis
eases, and the above report goes to prove
what has often been said in our columns dur
Ing the last eight years, that kidney troubles
are not only the cause of moro than half the
cases OF consumption, but Of ninety out OF
every hundred other common diseases. They
who have taken this position, ma 10 their
claims after an elaborate investigation, and
their proof that they have discovered spe.
ciic for the terrible an staalthy kidney dis
eases, which have become so prevalent
among us, is wise and convincing.
We have recently received from them
fresh supply of their wonderful advertising.
They have challenged the med al profession
and science to Investigate They have in.
vestigate1, aud those who are frank have
admitted tho truth of their statements.
They claim that ninety per cent. of diseases
come originally from inactive kidneys; that
these inactive kidneys allow tho blood to be.
come filled with uric acid poison: that this
uric acid poison in the blood carries disease
through every organ.
There Is enough uric acid developed in tho
system within twenty four hours to kill half
q dozen men.
This being scientific fact it requires only
ordinary wisdom to see the effect inactive
kidneys must have upon the system.
II this poison Is not removed, it ruins every
organ. If the bowels, stomach or liver be-
come inactive, we know it at once but other
organs help them out. II the kidneys become
constipated and dormant the warning comes
later on, aud often when it Is too late, be-
cause the effects are remote from the kidneys
and those organs are notlsuspected to he out
of order.
Organs that ore weak and diseased are UNI
able to resist the attacks Of this poison and
the disease often takes the form of and is
treated as 10 al affection, when in reality
the real cause of the trouble was inactive
kidneys.
Too many melical men of the present day
hold what was ia It twenty years ago, that
kidney disease is incurable, according to the
medicines authori ed by their CODE Hence,
they ignore the original cause of disease it
sell, and give their attention to useless treat
Ing of local effects.
They dose the patient with guinine, NOR
phne, or with salts and other physics, hop
ing that thus nature may cure the disease,
while the kidneys continue to waste away
with inflammation, liberation and decay, and
the victim eventually perishes.
The same quantity Of blood that passes
through the heart, passes through the kidneys.
II the kidneys are diseased, the blood soaks up
this disease and takes it all through the sys.
TEN. Hence it is, that the claim is made that
Warmers safe cure, tho only known spe-
cific for kidney d seases, cures 80 per cent
of human ailments, because it, and it alone,
is able to maintain The natural activity of the
kidneys, and to neut,ali1e and remove the
uric acid, or kidney poison, as fast as it is
formed.
If this acid Is notremoved there is inactiv-
ity of the kidneys, and there will be produced
in the system paralysis, apoplexy, dyspep-
STA, consumption heart disease, headache'
rheumatism, pneumonia, impJtency and all
the nameless diseases of delicate women II
the poisonous matter is separated from the
blood, as fast as it is formed, these diseases,
In majority of cases, would not exist.
1t only requires a article of smallpox
virus to produce that vile disease, and tho
poisonous mater from the kidneys passing
all through the system and becoming lodged
at different weak points, is equally destruc-
tive, although more disguised.
If it were possible for us to see' into the
Kidneys, and how quickly tho blood passing
through them goes to the heart and lungs and
other parts of the system, carrying this
deadly virus with it, all would believe with
out hesitation what has so often been stated
in advertisements in these columns, that the
kidneys are the most important organs in the
body.
They may regard this article as an adver.
tisemant and refuse to believe it, but that is
a matter over which we have no control.
Careful Investigation and science itself are
proving beyond doubt that this organ is
in fact, more important tHan any other in
the system as health regulator, and as such
should be closely wat he'd for the least sign
of disordered action.
